95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 1999 Château Margaux has been the standout First Growth since I first tasted the wine from barrel. Now reaching its plateau of maturity, it has an understated nose at first, armed with impressive mineralité with a gorgeous graphite seam. The definition and precision here is top class. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth in texture, very harmonious and assured, surprisingly with some new oak still to be fully assimilated into the wine. The signature Margaux traits of crushed black cherries and violets comes...Read More »

96 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "This estate's most renowned offering is their old vine Shiraz (90+ year old vines) called The Dead Arm. The unfined/unfiltered 1999 The Dead Arm Shiraz (2,000 cases) was aged in 100% new oak, of which 70% was American and 30% French. It is about as natural and unmanipulated a product of the vineyard as one can find. Full-bodied and awesomely rich, notes of black pepper, licorice, and blackberry as well as cherry liqueur cascade over the palate with enormous concentration and intensity, high tannin, and a structur...Read More »

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "This opaque purple-colored, medium to full-bodied Zinfandel is produced from some of the Russian River's finest soils/vineyards. Sweet, ripe black currant and cherry characteristics combine with smoky oak, and tangy acidity provides definition, vibrancy, and freshness in this large-scaled, concentrated, dense effort. (RP)" (10/2001) Wine Spectator: "Ripe, with currant, dried raspberry, white pepper and spice flavors, but they tail off in a firm, tannic finish. Could use a year to uncoil. (Web-2011)"

90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes possesses a mineral-laced, black cherry, and plum-scented perfume. Full-bodied, with exceptional purity as well as abundant tannin in the finish, it is a layered, serious vin de garde, especially for the vintage. " (12/2001) 90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Bright ruby-red. Sweetly perfumed aromas of cherry, raspberry and cedar. Sweeter, riper and more supple than this estate's other '99 offerings; this pliant wine really expands on the palate. ...Read More »

95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 1999 Lafite Rothschild sports an engraved '1999' on the bottle along with an eclipse to mark that significant historical event of August, 1999. It is a quintessential offering from Lafite Rothschild. This prodigious wine is both elegant and intensely flavored, and almost diaphanous in its layers that unfold with no heaviness. An opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a complex bouquet of lead pencil, graphite, cedar, creme de cassis, toast, and vanilla. It is medium-bodied, with extravagant layers of rich...Read More »

94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Readers looking for a modern day version of Latour's magnificent 1962 or 1971 should check out the sensational 1999 Latour. It is a big, concentrated offering, exhibiting a dense ruby/purple color, and a classic nose of minerals, black currants, leather, and vanilla. The wine is long, ripe, and medium-bodied, with high levels of sweet tannin. This surprisingly full, concentrated 1999 should be drinkable in 5-6 years; it will last for three decades.
